Request: Working snow blower (Palatine) Hello friends and neighbors if you are downsizing please consider me, my children and I finally found that forever home so if you have a working snowblower we are in need. My new home has more land than my children have strength to shovel alone and I without major assistance can provide due to my disabilities of rheuematoid arthritis and lupus. We will be forever grateful for your blessing. Thank you in advance. AHRIANA 224-287-4120

Request: Brother PED transfer box (Palatine) Expired Hi I have a 20 year old embroidery machine I was just gifted and the only font I have available is times roman I usually use a manuscript when I embroider bags but the library dislikes when I have too many panels. I was wondering if anyone has a transfer box I can have or even borrow to replace files I will not use with those I will use. Thank you so very much in advance

Request: your old embroidery machine (Palatine) Received It just has to work, I find myself working with embroidery lot more often as I customize various bags and appearal. If you happen to have an embroidery machine you no longer use and unsure what to do with it...I will consider it such a blessing and guarantee many more years and items to stitch and create.

Request: Upcycled bags (Palatine) Expired I upcycle old sheets, jeans, and other fabrics into handmade bags I then fill and donate to children's units of hospitals. The project started as a pay it forward in recognition of my son's stay when he was being treated for cancer and most recently for my daughter when she was hospitalized with pneumonia. But these bags aren't possible without your donations so thank you thank you these aren't complete the still have to be sewn together but I just wanted to show you guys what your donations turn into.

Request: fabrics of all types (Palatine) Received I'm looking for old jeans, old sheets, table clothes even old towels. I will upcycle all said material to make these handmade bags to fill with hope for families in the hospital with a sick child. I recently found myself ( again this time my oldest) in the hospital watching my child fight for their life. While a bag will not heal it offers comfort. Shampoos, brushes coloring books a magazine etc while mommy or daddy and baby focus on healing. St Alexius has 24 beds in their PICU I want to make 48 bags again. But it is only possible when generous people offer what they can as far as materials. Thank you AHRIANA
